- The case highlighted deficiencies in regulations and response capabilities for oil spills, especially large deepwater spills.
Deep Water Horizon Accident - by ALOKRANJAN.ORG.INALOK RANJAN
The Deepwater Horizon accident, also known as the BP oil spill or the Macondo blowout, was a catastrophic event that occurred on April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico. It was one of the largest marine oil spills in history and had severe environmental, economic, and social impacts.
Here are some key details about the Deepwater Horizon accident:
1. **Location and Context**: The Deepwater Horizon drilling rig was located approximately 40 miles southeast of the Louisiana coast in the Macondo Prospect, an oil field estimated to hold significant oil reserves.
2. **Cause of the Accident**: The disaster was triggered by a blowout—a sudden and uncontrollable release of oil and gas—from the Macondo well. This blowout led to a series of explosions on the drilling rig.
3. **Explosion and Sinking**: On April 20, 2010, a surge of methane gas from the well caused an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig. The explosion and subsequent fire resulted in the deaths of 11 workers and injured 17 others. The rig eventually sank on April 22, 2010.
4. **Oil Spill**: The blowout caused a massive oil spill that continued for 87 days until the well was successfully capped on July 15, 2010. It's estimated that approximately 4.9 million barrels (210 million gallons) of oil were discharged into the Gulf of Mexico.
5. **Environmental Impact**: The spill had devastating effects on marine and coastal ecosystems. It harmed fish, birds, marine mammals, and other wildlife. The oil also damaged wetlands, beaches, and estuaries along the Gulf Coast, impacting tourism and fishing industries.
6. **Response Efforts**: The response to the spill involved a massive cleanup operation by BP (the owner of the well), government agencies, and volunteers. Various methods were used to contain and remove the oil, including controlled burns, chemical dispersants, and the deployment of booms.
7. **Legal and Financial Consequences**: BP faced extensive legal action and paid billions of dollars in fines and settlements for environmental damage, economic losses, and cleanup costs. The spill also led to changes in offshore drilling regulations and safety standards.
8. **Long-term Effects**: The environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon spill continues to be studied. Scientists are monitoring the recovery of affected ecosystems and assessing the long-term effects on marine life and habitats.
The Deepwater Horizon accident highlighted the risks associated with offshore oil drilling and emphasized the importance of stringent safety measures to prevent similar disasters in the future.

Challenges to Deepwater West Africa DevelopmentsDylan Roberts
There are significant challenges to developing deepwater oil fields in West Africa, including metocean conditions, mooring and riser systems selection, and ensuring flow assurance. Fast track development approaches can underestimate project definition requirements and lead to cost overruns. Local content development, technology transfer, and addressing associated gas utilization are also important challenges to overcome.
The document discusses the impacts of petroleum product spills on the marine environment. It covers effects on marine life such as fish and sea creatures, as well as impacts on human health, fisheries, aquaculture, and the tourism industry. The document outlines remediation methods for oil spills in marine environments and soils/groundwater. It also discusses government policies and contingency plans in India for responding to oil spills, including the National Oil Spill Disaster Contingency Plan and international conventions on liability.

Corporate Governance : Scope and Legal Frameworkdevaki57
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
MEANING
Corporate Governance refers to the way in which companies are governed and to what purpose. It identifies who has power and accountability, and who makes decisions. It is, in essence, a toolkit that enables management and the board to deal more effectively with the challenges of running a company.
Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

4. 1.1 BACKGROUND
Strategic Location
Located in the center of SLOC connecting East and West.
Location is very crucial in the Indian Ocean from a geostrategic perspective.
2/3 of world’s oil and half of the world’s container shipment passes.
Responsible Pollution Prevention Zone of 8 times larger than the land.
5. Oil Spill Concerns
Approximately 25% of world's oil (550 million T Annually) is transported
very close to Sri Lanka.
Oil spillages has become one of biggest threats.
Causes detrimental damage and serious influences to the environment,
economy and livelihoods in the many sector.
RED Colour indicate Tankers
7. 1.3 ANALYSIS OF CURRENT SITUATION
39 major accidental oil spills have occurred in Sri Lankan waters between 1991
and 2021 causing incalculable damage.
The threat of oil pollution is high due TO following key factors;
1. The geostrategic location.
2. High probability for accidents due to a high shipping density.
3. Oil unloading activities (Ex-bunker services).
4. Offshore oil exploration related activities.
Rise of occurrence
8. Capability for oil pollution preparedness is at an immature level.
Probability and risk of oil spill occurrences at a medium level and the
consequences are at a high level.
Capability for oil response and legal provision to obtain compensations needs
to be improved to fill the existing gap.

Effect to the economy due significant amount of GDP derived from marine fisheries, tourism and other employment opportunities associated with coastal zone.
Its catalyst was the 1967 grounding of the Torrey Canyon which resulted in 120,000 tons of crude oil being spilt off the coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom.
The need for coordination within the existing marine administration, which comprises a small number of personnel and limited expertise.
